In a FNO Frenzy

If you're reading this, I expect you to know what Fashion's Night Out is... Hopefully you all fulfill my expectations! I can't contain my excitement for FNO Boston tomorrow. Like last year, I will be celebrating at Copley. Fashion’s Night Out at Copley Place will begin at 6:30 p.m., (doors open at 6:00 p.m.) where it will join forces with the city’s ultra stylish magazine, Boston Common, to present an evening of high end fashion shows and more. A professionally produced runway fashion show spotlighting fall fashion trends by Neiman Marcus will kickoff the evening, followed by a mixed retailer show featuring looks by Jimmy Choo, Wolford, Vince and Elie Tahari. If anyone remember's last years shows, they were spectacular. I can't wait to do it all over again, camera in hand, tomorrow evening.

As the city of Boston and all of its retailers gear up for its second year hosting FNO, the excitement is growing greater and greater. I was lucky enough to speak with one of Copley's marketing associates and she said that when FNO first came to Boston last year, the city "was overwhelmed". Between closing down most of Newbury street for the festivities and the traffic in the streets and malls, there were so many options and places to go. She told me that in this year's shows "there will be lots of fur, it's back -- whether real or faux -- and it's everywhere". After speaking with her, I got even more excited! For all of those wondering, I will be at Copley's shows tomorrow night wearing my new favorite pair of Topshop "genie" pants. See you there, fashionistas.
